Enjoy the Tears

​Smile as tears flow 
warming your cheeks
burning your eyes

Smile as you sob uncontrollably
hands cradling contorted face
twisted in angst

Smile ..
you can only cry
after knowing Love

Smiles and tears; love and fears; pain comes, all that stuff just crowds in together, I reckon. Thank you, Bill, for your out-there-ness, your willingness to speak outloud where many cannot even conjure the thoughts, much less voice them. Brave and real, You are appreciated, Mr Facker!

Happy trails--or, as Anne Lamott would say: "traveling mercies" through the remainder of this year, the holidays wherever you are.

Big hugs from Roanoke~

Patty, thank you so much for this! Everytime I see "Happy Trails", I happily think of Gene Autry singing the song .. "Happy Trails to You" as well !

Mahalo, Merci, y Muchas Gracias,
Bill

Who says a poem can't be powerful even if it is only a few lines in length? A smile can be just as powerful because it is usually returned by those who receive it. Infants to the very aged delight in them ... a little bit like "walking on the sunny side of the street". My sincere best wishes are sent your way, Cynthia

A smile makes the soul happy, tears cleanses the soul, Love fills the soul.

Beautiful poem.
